About this listen

The autobiography of internationally renowned actress Joan Collins, brought to you in audio by none other than the star herself.

Her role as Alexis Carrington Colby in Dynasty brought her to peak stardom, a role which might have been created for the tempestuous, strong-willed, and passionate woman that she is. As might be expected, in this memoir, she tells the truth; from her romantic adventures - sometimes desirable, sometimes disastrous - with some of the most famous and interesting men in the world, to the inside story of her fascinating and erratic acting career. Joan Collins candidly divulges her past imperfect in a book that is, like herself, outspoken, witty, daring, and full of life.

Critic reviews

“[T]his book, a sensation when it was published in England, is sheer heaven." (NY Times)

I really enjoy hearing about Hollywood times back in the day. Alot of Big stars of the times mentioned. Lots of interesting stories throughout her life written & spoken like you are having a coffee & chat with a friend telling you past times & a bit of gossip thrown in. Thanks Joan, I enjoyed listening.

Great read

I loved this audible book one of my favourites so far! Joan is funny, witty super posh and down to earth the perfect combination!
Joans story is Frank and has had a colourful life. Proves that hard work and belief in herself has paid off.

a real eye opener on how the stars of old Hollywood were treat, especially the women. Joan does an excellent job telling her story and I was enthralled listening to snippets of life back in the 50's 60's with James Dean, Cary Grant and Marilyn Monroe.

really interesting and enjoyable

Autobiographies written and read by the author are the best. This one by screen legend, Joan Collins, is no exception. You appreciate her great resilience and what a pioneer she was, and is, in furthering a better future for women in the ruthless film and television industry.

fascinating view behind-the-scenes

Narrated by Joan herself. Excellent biography of her life upto when she started her role as Alexis in Dynasty. I had read the autobiography years ago and was hoping this version would have been updated to include her later life. As this is now appearing as an audio book I actually thought there would be further chapters bringing us up to the present day. Past Imperfect 2 please Joan.

Brilliant
